A lot of people have never heard of the process “mudjacking” and hopefully your home will never require it. Denver mudjacking or “slab jacking” is a process done to raise sunken concrete floors, driveways, foundations and anything in between. Mudjacking is a cost effective alternative to replacing sunken, settled, or unsupported concrete.
Mudjacking is a unique process done by specialized companies that requires special equipment. The technique involves pumping a perfectly formulated mixture of sand, cement, and structural fill material. The mixture is pumped at high pressure under the affected area of concrete in order to restore the level and prevent further damage to the home or property.
Denver mudjacking is a great alternative to costly and time-consuming removal and replacement. Contrary to what some people say, the process of mudjacking is a long lasting solution to sunken concrete. It is also typically less than a third the cost of removal and replacement because it is a lot less labor intensive. It is also much faster than replacement and the concrete can be used as soon as the mixture is dried. Another great thing about mudjacking is that it can be done with no damage to the yard or surrounding area, which makes it great for finished properties.
Sunken and settling concrete is a problem that typically gets worse over time and can become completely un-fixable if left too long.
